Tl* the contact owns a 2017 mercedes-benz b250. While driving 65 MPH and accelerating, the brakes were applied but failed to respond. Additionally, the vehicle made an abnormal irking noise.

When trying to leave a shopping complex in my Mercedes Benz B250e, the vehicle suddenly just wouldn't move in either drive or reverse. All instruments looked normal, there were no warnings or messages on the console, and the vehicle was fully charged, but the electric motor just would not engage even though the transmission was engaged. The vehicle was towed to the nearness Mercedes Benz dealership in Littleton, where they diagnosed the problem simply as a "failed electric drive".
